Hi there,
Thanks for using HCM.
Increased thirst and increased urination especially in the night could be signs of diabetes mellitus.
You need to check your blood glucose levels to rule out diabetes mellitus.
There are many different causes for abdominal pain.
With symptoms suggestive of diabetes mellitus, this abdominal pain could be due to urinary tract infection. This infection can also explain increased need to urinate. Urinalysis may be done to confirm it.
So as first step , get your blood glucose level checked and get an urinalysis done.
